Hmm. Try using "NVDA." http://nvda-project.org I'm not sure how they made the "Dos" box so accessible, however its working very well with games that are in the "Text Adventure Development System," Oh, and this part is for Phill." If anyone is looking for any of the demos to some of Phill's older games in Dos, (yes I know they're old, however they're still popular,) check out this link: http://www.nfbnet.org/download/games.htm
The demo to "Panzars In North Africa" is there! Cops 98 I believe is there to. Fox and Hounds I think is there also, I liked that maze game also. I wonder Phill, if there was a way to make the full Dos games as "Freeware?" I know the "windows" version of the DOS games don't work well, but would it be a possibility one day? The game I always wanted to try, and I never did, was "Space Envators!" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Zachary Kline" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@audyssey.org> Sent: Monday, July 16, 2007 11:01 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] An appreciation for Fallthru > > cHello, > Unfortunately, there is no Windows version.
